Step By Step

Frozen Strawberry Crunch Cake

With hot summer days and sweltering temperatures all around the country, this dessert is a “cool” alternative to your average cake!

Frozen Strawberry Crunch Cake is the perfect frozen treat to serve at an outdoor summer get together. The irresistible crust is made with delicious Nature Valley Oats ‘n Honey granola bars mixed with brown sugar and butter, yum! The frozen cake is a creamy whipped filling with cream cheese, sugar and lemon. Adding the fresh strawberries gives it a light flavor and crunchy texture. It’s a very unique dessert because it’s not really ice cream and it’s not cake either … it’s a frozen dessert.

Using a food processor, finely crumble the Nature Valley granola bars, then divide the crumbs in half. Set one half of the crumbs aside, and use the other half to make the crumb crust. Add the crust mixture to the pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.

Combine the ingredients to make the cream mixture. Chop strawberries and fold gently into the mix.

Coat the bottom of an 8x8" pan with 1/2 of the crumb crust, pour the cream mix in and coat the top with the reserved granola crumb.

Cover and freeze for three hours. Enjoy on a hot summer day.

It’s a bit addicting. Trust me, your guests will be coming back for more. Hope you enjoy!
